Therefore, it may surprise you to learn that many of us – even those most comfortable with household chores – are probably doing some of our tasks incorrectly, or out of order. Here are some cleaning habits that you need to change.

All-Natural and Organic

We’ve all heard that it’s better for the environment if we use organic cleaners in place of chemicals. However, this doesn’t mean that just because something is all-natural that it’s ideal for cleaning, or for cleaning a specific item. Case in point, vinegar and lemon juice are both organic but they are also very acidic. To avoid ruining the finish on certain types of stone, keep lemon juice and vinegar away from the following: marble, travertine, limestone and onyx. Your cleaning products (natural or man-made) should be appropriately paired with your project.

Pets make your home more comfortable and welcoming, but, unfortunately, they also have the habit of making your home stinky. Even the most conscientious of pet owners sometimes notices a foul odor, and this odor becomes markedly worse for those who have accidents from time to time. Luckily, you do not have to live with this stench forever. There are plenty of steps that you can take to remove the pet odor from your home, and First Coast Home Pros can help.

The removal of pet smells begins with proper maintenance. Make a habit of bathing your dog regularly with an unscented shampoo. Pay special attention to the areas behind his ears and between his legs, as these areas tend to accumulate pheromones, dirt, grime and other smelly substances. Keeping him clean prevents him from leaving any additional foul odors throughout the home. If you notice a strong odor coming directly from your dog even after a thorough bath, consult your veterinarian. This could be a sign of a medical condition or food allergy.
